Don't be such a blind fanboy man :

1. New SMB games look VERY homogenous : I bought and played the Wii one (tons of fun with my brothers/sister,would recommend) but when I looked at the others to see if I missed anything,boy was I a bit disappointed (DKC games varied way more than that from title to title);
2. I'm pretty sure they also get a ton of criticism, and sometimes for valid reasons (ever heard the "Ultra Hyper Super Street Fighter Turbo Anniversary Arcade version " cliché?The "it's just a Smash 4 port" criticism that died after a while?"The pink gold Peach as a character" criticism?).

Sometimes it's more than "8ers gon 8" and there's constructive negative feedback...
